I'm in love with an Outlaw- Andley

Chapter 18

~Ashley’s POV~

We had come back from our honey moon and we were going on tour again, we were all on the bus heading to our first venue, we were just touring the US for now and then we were going to record a new album before touring again, for that album and it’s release.

Andy and I couldn’t really share a bunk; it was cramped so we had resorted to having one across from each other so we could chat quietly before sleeping. We could cuddle on the couch seat things so we were all good for that.

Our first show was tonight, we were playing in Cincinnati. So I couldn’t wait, Andy had been practicing vocals and drinking his weird drink things so he wouldn’t ‘break’ his voice while singing. I had been practicing my bass, along with Jake and Jinxx practicing guitar and CC just sort of drummed on his lap.

Jinxx was nervous to go on stage again, I knew that, I could tell from the look in his eyes. He was scared that they would notice that he wasn’t okay. He was gaining weight again, and I don’t know about his self-harming, it’s not really my business. It’s Jinxx’s and Jake’s. 

We had a set list. It was a mix of different songs. We would open with ‘I Am Bulletproof’ and we ended with ‘In The End’ for ur encore, we played ‘Fallen Angels’ and ‘In The End’ for our encore all the time, they were 2 pretty popular songs so it only made sense to end the concert with a bang.

‘Knives and Pens’ was also in the set list after the ‘Overture’. I liked that part, I mean we had to run off and get a drink quickly but I still had time to enjoy the melodies from the violin.

The bus had been parked at the venue so we were all heading in; Andy was holding my hand, swinging our arms back and forth as we walked. I could hear the fans round the front of the building, they sounded excited. We were heading in through the backstage door so we wouldn’t be mobbed.

“Hey, Ash?” I heard CC ask me as we entered our dressing room.

“Yeah?”

“Wanna come to Starbucks with me and get some coffee?” he asked, smiling a little.

“Sure thing, gimme a sec.” I smiled at CC before turning to Andy, “Andy, I’m just going to Starbucks with Cee, we’ll be back soon.”

“Okay, just don’t get into trouble you two!” Andy laughed a little and pecked my lips quickly before letting go of my hand.

“Bye~” I called, following CC out of the door.

It felt weird not holding someone’s hand when I was walking, I usually always held Andy’s hand when we went places, but I’m with CC right now… wait, we’re  best friends, best friends hold hands, don’t they?

I grabbed CC’s hand and started to swing our arms back and forth, laughing when CC turned and gave me a weird look.

“Best friends hold hands, and I wanted to hold someone’s hand.” I admitted sheepishly.

“Okay dude, but if anyone takes pictures and starts talking about ‘Cashley’ then you have to explain it!” CC grinned at me and tightened his grip on my hand before starting to run, dragging me behind him.

I ran after him down the street, we probably looked stupid. A 30 year old and a 31 year old running down the street, holding hands. What made it worse was the fact that we were both male.

We laughed like idiots as we came to a stop outside of Starbucks. We walked in, dropping each other’s hands so it didn’t look suspicious. It wasn’t bad that we were holding hands, I guess it was just so we didn’t get yelled at or whatever.

We stood in the queue, chatting about nothing, waiting for our turn. I knew what I was getting; a vanilla flavoured Chai Tea. I got that a lot when I went to Starbucks, I think CC was getting a caramel flavoured frappe. They were okay, I guess. But I knew they were going to make CC hyper as fuck.

When we got to the front of the queue we ordered our drinks, the girl that was serving us nearly had a fit, she obviously knew who we were. She told us that she was coming to the show later and that she was really excited. She also wished us luck for the show. We thanked her and signed some stuff for her. After CC paid we started to head back to the venue, sipping our drinks in silence.

“She was nice…” CC said after a while.

“She was nice, but when I say it I mean friendly~” I laughed and nudged him with my shoulder.

“Shut up~!” CC whined.

“Okay, but dude you should go get her number. She seemed to really like you… I mean I know she’s a fan but she liked you more than she liked me.” I told him.

“Okay, okay, I will!” CC smiled, he turned around, “I’ll see you back at the venue Ash, tell the guys that I won’t be long.”

“Okay, bye Cee.” I smiled and waved a little before continuing my journey back to the venue.

I eventually made it back, I was mobbed by fan-girls a few times and my tea was nearly knocked out of my hand, but it was okay. I signed stuff for them- always good to keep a marker pen on you.

“Ashy!” Andy squealed when I came back into our dressing room. “Wait, where’s CC?”

“He’s getting this chicks phone number, said he wouldn’t be long.” I told Andy, before I chucked my empty Starbucks cup in the trash can that was in the corner, just missing Jinxx’s exploded suitcase.

“Oh, okay~” I heard Andy mumble and soon I felt two arms wrapped around my waist, from behind.

“Oh I wonder who that could be~?” I giggled.

“It’s batman!” Andy whisper yelled in my ear.

“Batman? Nah, it’s Andyman!” I paused, “Okay, that was so uncool of me.” I admitted.

Andy had let go of me and had keeled over laughing, holding his stomach. “A-Andyman, oh my fu-uck!”

Fucking special child, he was. Oops, that was like Yoda. I think the tea made me hyper, I don’t know. Maybe it was CC, he was rubbing off on me.

“Andy, up! You’re gonna ruin your hair goddamnit!” I whined. I had spent ages helping him to fix his hair on the bus and I was going to kill him if he ruined it.

“Okay, okay I’m sorry!” He got up, still holding his stomach, “Andyman…” he whispered to himself.

“Shush Mr Biersack, before I make you shush.” I told him, giving him a look.

“Okay, I’m sorry Mr Biersack- wait no, Mommy! You’re gonna be the mommy!” he stated all of a sudden.

“I-what?” I asked, I hadn’t thought about that.

“I’m going to be the daddy, and you’re gonna be the mommy because you look like a girl!” Andy started laughing again. I just rolled my eyes. My husband is an idiot.

CC came back after a while, looking very happy. I assume he had her number now. But I couldn’t ask him about that because we had to go on stage and play.

We all stood side stage and yelled out a random cheer thing- we were drowned out by the sound of all the fans yelling ‘Black Veil Brides’ over and over again.

‘Here goes nothing.’ I thought before following CC out onto the stage. Andy came out last of course and when he did all the fans screamed louder. Andy was always the favourite one. I didn’t really care though, I had ‘me’ fans as Jake called them.

The show was amazing, we had fire everywhere and smoke and I had so much energy. I played my heart out and the fans were really enjoying themselves as well, shouting along with Andy as he sung.

Nearer the end of the concert after we had finished playing ‘Rebel Love Song’ I could hear the fans all yelling out ‘Andley’. So of course, we gave them what they wanted. Andy came over to me and kissed me, not just a peck though, it was a deep kiss. I wanted to moan but I couldn’t… face mic problems.
